Stonewall?

I am writing an assignment for college, I have chosen to write about stonewall in businesses. It is a both sides argument essay, and I have been trying to research the effects of stonewall in businesses and companies.

When I started a couple of months ago, there was a lot of websites for both sides, but now when I type anything into Google, it is only coming back with stonewall the website, the history of stonewall or ways to sign up and become a diversity champion. ALL of it is the 'good side' argument. Does anyone know what has happened? I know when I started there was a lot of other results from many different points of view. Can anyone give me some places to go so I can do a balanced assignment?

research the effects of stonewall in businesses and companies.
An article here on possible negative effects.

@senua

research the effects of stonewall in businesses and companies. An article here on possible negative effects.
That's a really clear article with lots of scenaria / scenarios for how businesses could be at risk.

Try a few different search engines... Duck duck go is a good one.

The fact the search engines are deboosting critical argues itself can feature In Your essay. Shows who has the power in this conversation.

@LonginesPrime

I'm happy to share it with you when it is done, @purpleboy although it is going to be the first proper assignment I have ever written, left school at 15 and finally back in education in my 30s. So I'm not promising it will be good

OP, please check your Uni's regulations and plagiarism rules, etc before sharing any of your academic work with anyone outside of your course.

Its natural that posters are going to be interested, but if they haven't studied in the last few years, they might not appreciate the rules around sharing information, anti-plagiarism software, essay sites, etc so likely won't appreciate the risk you'd be taking in circulating work before you have your final qualification awarded.

One of the (many) risks you take is that if someone else (not necessarily that poster, but anyone who sees it) thinks your work is worth sharing and it ends up online somewhere (possibly with good intentions), you could end up being accused of plagiarism yourself (even later in the course if your work is called into question), and the first question you will be asked is why would you share your assessed HE work with others outside the course?

By all means write something else to share with people using the same source material, but I strongly advise you to check your course regulations before sharing anything you're using for your actual course work.

Thanks for raising this, I wasn't aware.

Sorry op certainly don't want to get you in any kind of trouble Smile

It may be too obvious, but are you going to look at costs to businesses of paying Stonewall to advise them, train them and tell them off?

And costs of changing loos to a set up many people hate, so they have to change it back again?

@LonginesPrime I hadn't thought of that, thanks!

Thanks for more links and ideas. I've made a very small dent in it. I've got about 4 months, so fingers crossed I can get something good written.
